GaGa ball is a very active and fast-paced game that is played in a round or octagon "pit" called a Gaga ball pit. The objective of the game is to hit the ball at other players and knock them out by getting them below the knee.
There are several rules variations out there, but in general, here is a basic rule set for a game of Gaga:
The game started in Israel in the 1970s and has since spread around the world. It became popular in the US around 2012 and has exploded since then. We speak to customers everyday about gaga. Through those conversations, we have identified three main reasons why Gaga has become so popular:
The first thing to consider is what size Gaga pit you need. Our gaga pits range from 15’ across to 26’ across. As a general rule, a 15’ gaga pit can accommodate up to 15 kids, a 20’ can accommodate up to 20 kids, and a 26’ can accommodate up to 25 kids.
The next thing to think about is whether the gaga pit will be portable or permanent. Permanent gaga pits typically have a way to anchor the pit to the ground. Models like the In-ground Gaga Ball Pit come with spikes to anchor it into the ground. Other models like the Indoor and Outdoor Gaga Ball Pit don’t include any hardware to anchor but are capable of being anchored down to different surfaces like concrete or into the ground. Portable gaga pits are easy to setup, tear down, and store. Models to check out for this are Gaga2Go, Indoor and Outdoor Gaga Ball Pit, and Portable Gaga Ball Pit.
You may also consider if it will ever need to be installed indoors. We have a few models that are great for indoor installation, including Gaga2Go, Indoor and Outdoor Gaga Ball Pit, and Portable Gaga Ball Pit. These models are on the list for portability as well but they are also great for setting up in a large open room or gym.
Gaga pits are most commonly installed on the ground or on concrete. However, installing on the ground can cause the grass to wear down inside the pit. One solution is to move the gaga pit around when the grass gets stressed. Another option is to use our Gaga Pit Rubber Flooring Kit to create a designated area for the gaga pit on a forgiving surface.
